Payment of Scholarship Money
Payment is made directly to the college or university for credit towards the recipient's tuition fees. If the tuition fee has already been paid, the scholarship money will then be paid to the student by the school. The scholarship money will be paid in full in November of the year the scholarship is awarded. However, payment will only be issued after the Foundation has obtained confirmation from the school of the recipient's full-time re-enrollment.
